Training with the Kido can effectively enhance Orihime's control over her own abilities.
Chu Yang happens to be very skilled in the Ghost Path because of his amazing learning ability and the fact that he has clones from other worlds who can help him practice. He can master a large amount of Ghost Path techniques in a short period of time.
The next day.
Ichigo followed Shinji Hirako to the enemy's base for Hollowfication training, while Rukia and the others stayed at Chu Yang's house for special training.
Rukia initially joined in out of curiosity, but after witnessing Chu Yang's powerful slashing techniques, she also had the idea of learning them and thus joined in as well.
To create a suitable training ground, Chu Yang used the Traceless Stretch Spell to expand the storage room at home dozens of times, and then used the Ghost Path's barrier technique to fix the surrounding space to prevent it from being damaged during training.
Rukia was astonished by this. There were similar things in the Seireitei, but there weren't many people who could do this. They were usually Shinigami who had a very deep understanding of the Kido (demon arts).
Without exception, they were all death beings who had lived for many years.
Chu Yang has only been a Grim Reaper for less than a year, yet he has already cultivated the Ghost Path to this level!
Not only in the Ghost Path, but also in the four basic techniques of Slashing Fist and Walking Ghost, Chu Yang excels in every single one.
Just one of these skills is enough to rank you among the top captains!
"This is a true genius. No wonder he wants to become the Grim Reaper. He's a born Grim Reaper!"
Rukia couldn't help but sigh. She had lived in the Soul Society for many years and had seen quite a few geniuses, but it was indeed difficult for anyone to compare with Chu Yang.
Most people grow by living a long life and through persistent, gradual effort.
Before she could express any further feelings, Rukia threw herself into training. Rather than focusing on using her Zanpakuto abilities, Chu Yang arranged for her to start with the basics.
The most basic swordsmanship, the most basic moves, from gripping the sword to the posture of drawing the sword, are practiced repeatedly, which is terribly tedious.
If Rukia hadn't known Chu Yang, she would have almost thought he was playing a trick on her.
Chu Yang made this arrangement because most Shinigami, after gaining Shikai abilities, subconsciously rely on the Zanpakuto's power and neglect their dedication to Zanpakuto techniques.
The existence of beings like Kenpachi Zaraki is an extremely rare case.
Let alone ordinary Grim Reaper members, even captains have very weak swordsmanship skills.
If we disregard the power of Zanpakuto and the immense gap in strength, and focus solely on swordsmanship, most Shinigami in the wuxia world probably couldn't even defeat a second or third-rate master.
The foundation is extremely weak.
That's why Chu Yang was so determined to start with the basics of swordsmanship when training Rukia. As the saying goes, a tall building starts from the ground up, and the foundation is always the most important thing.
The training method he used was not the same one used by the Seireitei to train Shinigami trainees, but a method that was closer to martial arts theory.
A Zanpakuto can be either a sword or a blade. In addition to teaching swordsmanship, Chu Yang will also teach Rukia swordsmanship.
Without using spiritual pressure or abilities, Rukia actually felt something special from the monotonous sword practice, something that was hard to describe in words.
She recalled a similar feeling when Chu Yang used his Zanpakuto, that smooth, flowing feeling, as if he had truly merged with the Zanpakuto, making it an extension of his body.
After gaining some insight, Rukia practiced even harder.
Chad's situation was similar; Chu Yang simply transformed his swordsmanship and knife skills into fist and foot techniques, while Chad's first step was the much-anticipated horse stance.
The taciturn, tall, dark-skinned man is exceptionally talented in boxing; he's a natural-born boxer. However, his movements are too rigid, making him easy for his enemies to predict during a fight.
Learning how to use the body to attack is a big topic. A truly skilled fighter can turn every part of their body into a weapon for attack.
With just your hands, you can use fists, palms, fingers, claws, and so on in different ways. Your knees, elbows, shoulders, and legs are all weapons; it all depends on how you use them.
Even the basic martial arts concepts sounded like gibberish to Chadu, so Chu Yang had no choice but to teach him step by step.
The first thing to learn is how to take a beating. Only after you've learned how to take a beating can you talk about attacking.
Getting beaten up is Chad's forte; he's been beaten up countless times since he was a child, so he confidently declares that he can take a beating.
But when Chu Yang actually started hitting him, Chadu realized that his understanding of being beaten seemed to be flawed.
Putting everything else aside, he had never seen moves like "Black Tiger Steals Heart" or "Monkey Steals Peach" before.
When these tricks landed on him, a strange sense of humiliation rose in Chadu's heart.
"Is this technique really effective against the enemy?"
Chadu poses a soul-searching question.
"It's only useful for ordinary people."
Chu Yang answered honestly.
"Then why am I learning this?"
Chad couldn't understand it at all; the enemies he faced in the Soul Society were no ordinary people.
“An opponent who is enraged and loses their temper is much easier to deal with than a calm and rational one.”
Chu Yang sighed and said, "Of course I have more advanced techniques to teach you, but you don't even understand the most fundamental aspects of combat."
Chadu asked blankly, "The most crucial thing?"
Chu Yang said, "You must create an advantage in your favor on the battlefield at all costs, so that the scales of victory will tip. A contest of pure strength can only occur when you are far stronger than your opponent."
"It's not that I look down on you, but most of the time, you are the weaker party on the battlefield. At this time, you shouldn't be thinking about winning the battle with sheer strength."
"If you want to win, you have to learn to think about the battle from a different perspective."
After hearing these words, Chad took a deep breath, as if he had made a heavy decision in his heart, "I understand."
Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to teach the basics of Chadu.
Do you often think about how to win in other ways?
"will not."
"why?"
"Because I have strong enough capabilities."
"..."
Chad, who was already taciturn, became even more silent.
Seeing this, Chu Yang grinned and began to explain another reasoning.
"If you don't want to waste time thinking about how to defeat your enemy, then you have to work hard to improve your strength."
"Because in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery is just a joke."
"When you can kill an enemy with one punch, no matter how many moves he makes, he'll just look like a circus clown in your eyes."
"understand?"
Chad nodded. "At different times, we need to deal with the enemy with different mindsets."
Chu Yang smiled.
Children can be taught.
Compared to Rukia and Chad's unconventional approaches, Orihime's training is more methodical.
He taught Orihime the same way Chu Yang had practiced the Demonic Path, only incorporating some magical chanting techniques.
Ghost chanting and magic chanting, though different in their paths, both aim to leverage the power of words to influence the rules.
However, magic also has the aid of a wand, so the difficulty is relatively lower.
In learning the ways of the ghosts, having a master to guide you and figuring it out on your own are two completely different things; experience is especially important.
An error in a single byte or syllable can cause the ghost path to malfunction or deviate from its intended form.
Once you become familiar with it to a certain extent, you can skip the process of chanting "spiritual words," which not only allows you to cast spells quickly in battle but also greatly enhances the power of Fullbring.
Orihime's shield, Shun Rikka, can be combined into different abilities at will. The ability to cast spells quickly means a significant increase in flexibility, making it difficult for enemies to take advantage of the gaps in her spellcasting to launch an attack.
If the interval is reduced to zero, she will become the most terrifying magical machine gun on the battlefield.
Chapter 236 Everyone said the same thing
Intensive training relentlessly squeezed Ichigo's potential, and he repeatedly faced his Hollowfied self in an illusory world, only to be killed time and time again.
Pain consumed his soul, making Ichigo realize that controlling Hollowfication was not as easy as he had imagined.
Ichigo, who attends school during the day, appears listless.
In contrast, Rukia and the others, who were training under Chu Yang's guidance, were very excited and could feel their progress every day.
"You all look very happy. Is Yang's training very effective?" Ichigo asked curiously.
"It was boring at first, but it got better once I persevered. Now I feel like I'm getting stronger every day." Rukia crossed her arms, looking rather smug, and completely forgot to consider Ichigo's feelings.
"Getting stronger every day?" Ichigo scratched his head in frustration, quickly turning his messy hair into a bird's nest.
"Did the special training not go very well?" Orihime asked gently.
"It's not just not going well, it's just..." Ichigo said, then suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping listlessly onto his desk.
Rukia and Orihime exchanged a glance, both realizing that Ichigo was probably facing great difficulties in his training.
"Just give yourself some more time. Things weren't always smooth sailing for us either," Orihime gently comforted Ichigo.
"Among all the Shinigami, only Shinji Hirako and his companions possess the ability to Hollowen and control Hollowen. More than 100 years have passed since they acquired the ability to Hollowen."
